Installing Arch

This laptop has secure boot enabled by default. To start the installer you need to disable it in the UEFI. Then you can just boot the installer in UEFI mode and just install like a normal UEFI system.

Battery and Power Management

On Linux 4.17 I get about 5 hours on light load, like watching youtube. Installing tlp is a good idea. Suspend and Hibernate works.

Display, Video Card

The integrated Vega GPU works with the AMDGPU drivers. Apparently the display panel is freesync capable.

Orientation Sensor

You currently need to install iio-sensor-proxy and reboot to make the orientation sensor work.
This will disable the keyboard and touchpad, and invert the side volume buttons when the screen is held at the right orientation or is folded.
To make the screen rotate automatically according to its physical orientation, you could compile and use this daemon [2] written in C.
